where is the best place to visit in vietnam?

a lot of tourists ask me where is the best place to visit in Vietnam - is it ha giang, is it Sapa, is it hoi an? and my answer is always no. in my opinion the best place to visit in Vietnam is ta xua khong long. Khong long means dinosaur back. the reason it is called this is because it is a narrow mountain range that you can walk or ride over shaped like a - well I'd actually describe it as a dragon spine.

ta xua is 200 km from Hanoi or about 6 hours. you could get a coach there or if you're more adventurous you can ride an off-road tour with TIGit that takes you on a multiple day tour through mountain ranges and River Crossings. stopping off at beautiful spots just like khong long. whatever you choose when you get here you will not be disappointed. more beautiful than the mountain ranges in ha giang and not as busy.

The View will not be spoiled by groups of 20 Backpackers on a big tour. you may get the melodic sounds of karaoke or a chainsaw, however. you can choose to walk the spine or if you're feeling more daring ride it by motorbike. the narrow Trail and Rocky sections make it a challenging experience or you can just sit and have a traditional Vietnamese coffee in the cafe and enjoy a My tom. up to you.

if you want to find these hidden gems in Vietnam, then you need to travel through rough terrain by motorbike. if you're not confident then book a lesson with dirt bike Academy!
